Alexa,
I am so very excited about today, Monday, August 11th, 2008. Why? Because of you!
Today your grandma and I are driving from St. Louis to the Lake of the Ozarks...to see and spend time with you. And the reason that I am excited is that you are getting to the age where your personality is beginning to emerge. Before this, you just seemed to sleep, eat and poop (and you have shown yourself to be good at all three - two you get from your mom, and the last one probably from your dad).
This has got me thinking (the emerging personality, not the pooping). There is so much that God has knit together and wrapped up inside of you that it will take a lifetime to see it all revealed: your gifts and talents, your passions and purpose, and your ultimate beauty and glory. Time, circumstances, experiences and relationships will eventually bring these things into being.
My hope and prayer is that you will walk all the days of your life under the shadow of God's favor, so that His loving hand might gracefully unpack all that he has deposited inside of you.
I love you.
